Kevin Keegan admits Newcastle United's players are struggling for confidence after their FA Cup elimination against Arsenal.

He said: "Confidence is a big thing. We've got a good mix - some very talented young players and also some top, top international-class players.

"When you're not creating chances, the forwards start thinking: 'When am I going to get the service?' Probably Emre does that but we're having to ask young lads such as [Charles] N'Zogbia and [James] Milner to do that and while they can do it sometimes, they're still learning their games."
